Broncos Claim Mountain West Championship Share: A Tale of Two Halves

The Boise State Broncos are Mountain West Champions, well, kind of. They share the title with the Fresno State Bulldogs after a thrilling, rollercoaster of a game against the Nevada Wolf Pack. It was a game of two halves, with the Broncos storming out of the gate only to almost throw it all away in the second.

What happened?

The Broncos came out firing, taking a commanding 21-0 lead in the first quarter. It was a beautiful display of offensive efficiency and defensive dominance. The Wolf Pack seemed shell-shocked, completely unable to handle the Broncos’ momentum. It felt like a blowout in the making.

But then, the second half happened. Nevada started throwing punches, taking advantage of some Boise State miscues and suddenly narrowing the gap. The Broncos' offense sputtered, losing their rhythm and momentum. It felt like the championship slipped through their fingers.

The game went down to the wire

It was a nail-biting finish, with the Broncos barely hanging on to a 28-27 victory. They were saved by a last-minute defensive stand, holding the Wolf Pack just short of the end zone. The final play was a heart-stopping moment, a reminder that even the most dominant teams can be vulnerable.

Sharing the title? It's all about the Bulldogs.

The Broncos were a force to be reckoned with in the regular season, but ultimately they couldn't quite reach the top of the Mountain West. That honor belongs to the Fresno State Bulldogs who, thanks to their undefeated record in conference play, earned the sole claim to the Mountain West Championship.

It's a bittersweet moment for the Broncos. While they may not have the outright title, they still walked away with a share of the crown and a strong showing in a tough conference. It's a testament to their talent and resilience, and a reminder that they'll be a force to be reckoned with next season.

So, let's hear it for the Broncos! Even with a shared title, they’ve proven they’re one of the best teams in the Mountain West.
